This article has the exchange if you're curious.

And yes, the beer thrower's companion is a red hatter. You can't take republicans anywhere!

I really don’t have high expectations for police and definitely don’t have high expectations for point pleasant police.

Republicans are the biggest bunch of triggered losers on this planet.

Does anyone have high expectations for point pleasant police?

Probably right wing bootlickers

They probably agree with the attempted assault. so why would they charge? Also republican controlled town, and county...charging this isn't in their interest....smh

How many conversations at the Point Pleasant police department revolve around moving to Florida?

> “I can tell by the fact that you’re still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for Trump,” the comedian replied to big cheers from the audience.

.... > “As soon as I picked up the beer and felt liquid still in it,” Elias told Newsweek today, “I knew to chug it. It felt like the only way to recover. Also suddenly I really needed a drink, so it really worked out.”

Brilliant.

Of course not, it was probably a cop who threw it.

It appears the reason for charges not being filed are because she wouldn't sign the complaint, because, "'In order to do that,' she told Newsweek, 'I would have to return to Point Pleasant Beach, and I'm not doing that unless someone pays me to.'"

So, as easy as it is to trash the system, the simple fact is that she didn't want to move forward with the charges.

Interestingly, the guy's friends apparently gave the assailant's name to the club owner, who then passed it on to the police when the police spoke with the owner.

It's all in the article.

You meant to say “Snowflakes”

Maybe I'm petty....but you bet your ass I'd have gone back to do that.

The part about not returning to Point Pleasant sounded like a joke to me. The article also said:

>On Tuesday, Point Pleasant Beach police said they also had been in touch with Elias, but said she could not see who threw the beer because of the stage lights and declined to sign a complaint.

That's a mature and responsible position - she could have easily gone along with pointing the finger at the guy everyone else identified. She probably also figures it's better for her career to show that she won the fight with the hecklers herself, right there on the stage. No more justice needed from her perspective, despite many people having the understandable reaction that the guy should face actual consequences.

Also, interesting that the article said he was identified by his companions. In the video, you can hear someone off camera saying something like, "I'm never going out with you guys again".

If it was a cop he would have thrown the beer first and then claimed the comedian had a knife.

Same people that bitch and moan to "not bring politics into everything"

This is Reddit. We don’t read the articles.

It's North Carolina now. they're all afraid of the hurricanes and flooding, so they're all buying up real estate in Asheville, but they won't dare be caught admitting that climate change is a problem either.

“Fuck your feelings” “Snowflakes”

It annoys me that being charged is predicated on her signing a complaint. The act happened regardless.

Fuck point pleasant (borough and beach)

or someone with a PBA card

If you want to charge someone with a crime you have to be able to have someone who will attest to actually observing the crime. I don’t know what other alternative you’d like?

Anyone know if she's actually funny? She's about to get alot of airtime

That's one path to him getting charged. Apparently the club is pressing charges.

If it's a disorderly person's offense the comedian would be the one who needs to sign the complaint, not the police.

Police only sign them if the act is done within their presence, with very few exceptions to that, such as domestic violence.

READ IT?! I WROTE IT!

Interesting! Thank you for informing me. I still stand by my statement though.

There was a room full of people who can attest to it.

That’s implying those people would want to and then follow through with a case involving strangers going forward. You also have to get a victim to attest to it causing them to feel harm, threatened, etc, so either way she’d have to be involved

It's just amazing that the party of law, order, and personal responsibility (lol) always manages to do whatever the fuck they want, consequence-free.

>It's all in the article.

im sorry this is reddit - we dont do that around here!

Yeah I mean no argument from me there but that’s probably also a factor in why the comedian doesn’t want to bother in the first place

Have to be to be a cop

Probably, but that's a matter of individual taste. One person's funny is another person's beer can throwing rage trigger, apparently.

Pointed Hood Pleasant

Well, at least those trashy magas got banned.

Cheap taxes, low crime, and good education systems. Terrible place to live.

I’m so disappointed this happened in Jersey (but not shocked).

When I first saw this story, I had no idea this was in Jersey. Hopefully somebody ID's this Maga waste of life and he gets put in check. If there's any good to come from this, I hope this helps her succeed in getting her name out there.

I guess I can start murdering people left and right because if theyre dead they cant sign a complaint

And an even worse place to visit!

It's very Florida

LOL tbh I had thought that too on my first watch over on Twitter, not realizing I know where Uncle Vinnie’s is. Also the audience members accent went completely over my head upon first watch.

ETA - I know a lot of trumpy’s fleeing from NJ to FL, so checks out.

Damn when I saw that video I assumed it was Oklahoma or something.

oh c'mon. Obviously, the DA can choose to press charges, too. However, in minor cases like this, if the person doesn't want to move ahead, they don't.

The beer was thrown by the woman's husband, "who then valiantly fled the scene." 😆

Sounds like theyre too lazy to do their job.

Or, there's a process that's followed and if the victim doesn't want to press charges (ie, wouldn't want to file a police report, or show up in court), then they drop it knowing they won't be able to get a conviction without the victim's support. But sure, let's just go with "they're lazy."

> they won't be able to get a conviction without the victim's support

Its on camera. Youre telling me a jury would be shown the video and say thats fine?

If i don't get a beer thrown at me at Jenks, i feel like i missed out on the experience.

what’s an article

> It appears the reason for charges not being filed are because she wouldn't sign the complaint, because, "'In order to do that,' she told Newsweek, 'I would have to return to Point Pleasant Beach, and I'm not doing that unless someone pays me to.'"

It is absolutely not necessary for there to be a signed complaint by someone for charges to be pressed. Also, even if it was, there would be no need for them to physically travel to Point Pleasant to do so.

If you listen closely to the video, you can hear someone loudly complain something like "I'm never hanging out with this fucking group again" so I'm not surprised

Edit: "yo I'm never coming out with this group of people ever again" definitely the guy that told the bar lol

Imagine being that hurt by someone dissing your favorite...politician? WTF has this country become lol

When is someone going to start making trading cards? Jesus

They already have been making trading cards for years.

That's irrelevant as the case would not be brought to trial without the support of the victim afaik. It's ok, we can disagree.

[deleted]

does anyone know the name of the guy who threw the can?

This is misleading. Individuals do not "press charges" in our justice system; the state does. This task falls to the district attorney in charge of the case. They have WIDE discretion in choosing to press charges or not, which is why we often see these instances of victims declining to pursue the issue and DAs declining to press charges as a result. But this is 100% on the DA; they absolutely have the power to move forward with charges regardless of what the victim wants.

In her defense, neither do I, and I used to be in the Borough/Brick region. Point Beach sucks, anywhere else on the shore is better

Oh wow I had seen the video but has no idea it happened here in jersey

Can't she e-sign it? Or do a zoom where she swears out the complaint? Didn't COVID teach us anything?

Wow, I don't think I've ever liked a politician so much I'd buy a trading card of them. (It doesn't look like there are stats on the back; that's probably for the best.)

Think how hard a court case is when one side of it refuses to cooperate? It's why so many domestic violence cases fall through.

Very disappointed! These idiots meant bodily injury to the comic. These actions HAVE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I guess I can start murdering people left and right because if theyre dead they cant cooperate and it will make the job harder for the cops

She handled the situation well and is now getting famous of it. Ironic that a dumbass maga guy throwing a beer led to that.

Makes sense, won’t help the club’s reputation if performers are at risk for being assaulted on stage there without consequences.

That's fair, and I eluded to the fact that the DA can move forward on their own in a follow-up response earlier.

However, if the police are asking if the victim wants to move forward and they say no, then unless it's an egregious circumstance, I don't see how the DA moves forward when the victim will NOT cooperate. That will be a really quick discussion with the DA, presumably, "Does she wanna press?" "Nope." "Next!"

She might get a spot on jimmy kimmel now, so she might

Yep i meant to say she is now* getting famous so it might work out for her. Of course doesnt excuse throwing beer on stage

So you didn’t read the article starting they didn’t pursue charges because she didn’t want to press. Made some dumb misinformed comment. Got politely corrected, and still stood by your (wrong) statement.

That's hilarious. Asheville is like the Austin of NC. It's hippies, LGBTQ, artists, musicians, and generally left-wing stuff. They gonna hate it.

By the clip shown in the article (which I recommend you watch), she seems like a very talented and likable comedian. The incidient has helped bost her popularity, and may appear on Jimmey Kimmel.

""But ultimately, he has to live with himself, and that's probably punishment enough." from her twitter account

Boo!

its ok they'll just spend their time in the outerbanks

Lol, cause they Trump loving asshats.

Better get on that while they still can.

What's reading?

Welcome to the internet chief

Why ? Have you seen central and south jersey ?

What's Reddit?

Mr. Zimmerman, that you?

Police don't need a signed complaint to move forward when a crime is on video. It's like saying they can't move forward with a murder trial because the dead person won't sign a complaint.

oh shit this was point pleasant? wtf

I live in Point. I wish they would publish the person's name. We should be able to identify the shitheads among us.

It's harassment not the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. It would be heard in municipal court by a judge not a jury. It's considered a disorderly persons offense. The victim is the only one who can sign the complaint for a dp unless it is witnessed by the officer except in domestic violence situations.

> unless it is witnessed by the officer

Show the video to the officer.

The

I barely know what a title is, I search by controversial and throw my two cents in

Remember, she said she was “the only Jew in the room” which is certainly part of why the MAGA chick went off. If I were her, I wouldn’t want to go back to that town for fear of overt antisemitism.

yeah..that yet another example of MAGA hypocrisy "Law & Order"...only when Tucker says it is ok !

Does anyone know why your question is remotely relevant?

I was simply wondering if she was a good comic. Never heard of her. And she's about to get famous so I was just curious. Kimmel wants her and hopefully her career takes off from this.

Ah, it's a shame she won't press charges but I can understand not wanting to make one or more trips to a place I don't live near.

The family friendly drunken fool town that fought tooth and nail against cannabis legalization! Because it’s a family town.
